First, congratulations on becoming a new home owner!
Next, thanks for carving out the time to get us a new chapter. You let them go to Wegman's! Do you know that Weggie's is one of my very favorite places. Too bad Jim was assaulted there. Pam was very funny in the grocery store parking lot, really giving that lady something to be upset about.
I am truly enjoying this story's Pam. She is so solid. The other two stories had Jim as the one who was sure and ready to move ahead. It has rubbed off on his wife and she certainly wears it well. She knows she wants his baby, and while they may or not be entirely ready, she doesn't doubt their ability to expand their happy family, she is awesome.
And that is great because, they did it! She is pregnant and I am SO SO SO looking forward to whatever it is you have planned for Pregnant Pam and Doting Dad-to-be Jim! Decorating nurseries, picking names, seeing sonograms.
I realize you are having a busy summer, so I'll wait patiently. I am so glad you decided to take this to a trilogy.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh this is full of awesomeness.
First, I love me some sexy ass Mr. Halpert, so thank you for that ;)
Jim and that kid in the store was CLASSIC omg I loved it. And Pam's banana talk was seriously so something I could picture her saying!!!!
Jim feeding Molly human food and the "I told you to be cool," was so cute, God I love this!!!!
How Pam told him about the baby KILLED ME!
You = awesome.
Congrats with the houseeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Oh fuck. I'm reaaaaaally glad you're still writing this. No matter how long we wait between chapters, it's well worth it when you do find time to add more. And this chapter fully lived up to the standards you've set. I love Jim and Pam's fully realistic hesitation/excitement at the prospect of parenthood and I also really like how the tables have turned - Pam has taken the lead on this and Jim gets to drag his feet a bit. I think it levels the playing field that she's not always the one doubting they are ready.

can I also say that I loved the reference to Heart of Darkness :) and Jim as an English teacher just makes my little English major heart melt :)

I can't even tell you how excited I get when I see another chapter of this story! And this? SO BRILLIANT!! I seriously laughed non-stop at Pam's awesomeness. Can't wait for the next chapter!!

ooooooh man... another PERFECT chapter. thank you for all that you do :)

Hey NS! I hope you've had a good time on your trip.
Can I tell you how much I love how Jim and Pam have kinda switched M-O's on this one. Last story had Jim on full-steam ahead with the relationship, Pam mostly interested in enjoying the 'right-here-right-now' with Jim and now Pam wants to have his babies and Jim is like, hold up, not sure I wanna share you with little people... Awesome!
I am so glad that Pam is content with her job at Phylis' place. I was thinking exactly what she said. This gig as an illustrator, she likes and it will give her the ability to be there for her future family. I was even wondering if she'd be able to work from home once there were Baby Halperts in the picture... but there I am running ahead.
Okay, of course, I am looking forward to what happens next... are there a few more days to spend on this honeymoon or are we headed back to the Halpert 'nest'? More please.

I adored this chapter so freaking much, first the smut at the start was hot, and just what I needed to get my day started lol, then Pam telling Jim about her parents not being there, that was perfect and omg I loved it so much.
They do so much in one day, NYC made me so sleepy with allllll the walking lmao.
Cannot wait for the next chapter, how dare you go out of town and actually LIVE YOUR LIFE, think about the rest of us =) mwah

Yay! I got so excited when I saw this had been updated. Another awesome chapter :D

awesome yet again (:
Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Oh goodness, what a fantastic chapter! (And not just because you mentioned my favorite musical of all time...okay, that might have a little something to do with it.) I love grown up Pam...making decisions and being the voice of reason. It's a good flop. :) And man. I love New York and your story is seriously making me want to go back...and soon. Write more soon!
Author's Response: Let's all go to NY! That city is magic, let me tell you. I'm kind of depressed that I won't be able to afford a trip up there anytime soon, but at least I can write about it and pretend like I was there I guess. Ha-ha. Pam certainly has grown over these past couple of years, and I'm glad you're enjoying the new, grown-up Pam while Jim begins to freak out a little bit. Poor guy. Good to know they have each other's back when one begins to doubt what they're capable of. :)

Awww Boston near and dear to this girls heart thank u this was fantastic!

Ooh fun! I live in Boston they should defintely check out the museum of science Fenway or the aquarium newbury st for the awesome art galleries and chocolate stores. Hmm swan boats in the common there's lots of fun stuff to do!
Date: June 01, 2009 05:32 pm Title: Exaltation on a dark and stormy night
I'm loving this story!
I'm a NY-er born and raised. Here are some things for JAM to do :)
statue of liberty, row boating at central park boathouse(romantic!), walk through soho and greenwich village, walk the brooklyn bridge (and get pizza in brooklyn!), broadway show, jazz club, times square at night, hudson river park at night (romantic!), picnic in central park, natural history museum, art galleries, antique markets in brooklyn, italian food on arthur ave in the bronx, MET museum, Guggenheim, Chinatown for eats, Coney Island... Hope this helps!
Author's Response: Thanks for all of the suggestions! It definitely came in handy when writing the NY chapter. :)
Date: June 01, 2009 02:46 pm Title: Sure, unsure, or all of the above?
Sometimes, I wonder if a chapter of someone's story was written with me in mind. This one, I think I may have be right.
Seriously.
And that's not just because I threw out some Boston references.
But, since we're on that topic, Jim doing a heavy Boston accent (we don't all talk that way tho, reader friends - we do NOT all talk like that haha), a Sox cap, hell, the Sox winning 15-1 over Chicago, Sweet Caroline (to which my fiance and I are walking in to at our reception), the infamous Frog Pond, the Pike... everything was SPOT ON. I loved it.
And then Jim being scared... That was just perfect. Fiance and I had a long conversation this past weekend about missed opportunities and being scared (we're marrying pretty young, we've been exclusively together for over 6 years, etc) and your Jim and Pam conversation was so very close to the one we had, it was scary. I'm ready to go (26 days left!!!) and he just now came out and said that he's been nervous. Your Pam speech was very similar to what I said (albeit, yours was much more eloquent given it wasn't yelled in the heat of anger and frustration haha) and it was just perfect. Seriously. I give this entire thing a 10. You win.
Also, Pam rapping to Luda is probably the highlight of this entire series. Un-freaking-believable. I loved it.
Author's Response: Ooh, the wedding is getting close! I hope that you have a wonderful, wedding day dearie. There's nothing like a beautiful summer wedding. I'm glad that you enjoyed this chapter and that you were able to relate to it so well, and I hope that you and the fiance were able to talk things out and push all of the nerves aside. And Boston- ahh. So near and dear to my heart. My parents were born and rasied in Massachussetts and my father has THE worst Boston accent you will ever hear in your life. It's terrible. And I apologize because I know that not everyone talks like that. Thank goodness that accent wasn't past down to me. Although sometimes I'm slightly resentful that I don't have much of any accent at all. Grr

I can't even tell you how much I love this story. :)
Author's Response: Aw, thank you Liv. :)
Date: June 01, 2009 03:25 am Title: Sure, unsure, or all of the above?
YAAAAAAAAAAY they did the Freedom trail =)
This was beyond amazing. Pam's speech at the end, God I adore her lol. I love that Jim freaked out a little too. I can just see it all building up inside him and him slowly freaking out.
As usual I cannot wait to see where you go with this, Pam should definitely convince Jim to go see a girly musical though, like the little mermaid LMAO =)
You rock!
Author's Response: Dude, musicals, yes! For some reason, you say that and I get Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" in my head, and yeah I can't explain it but I'm sure I'll be singing that for the rest of the day to the annoyance of many of my co-workers. Oh well. I'm glad that you enjoyed this chapter. I think it was only fair that Jim was allowed to one minor freak out. He always seems so cool, calm and collected about everything. We all know that not everyone is perfect or that put together and he has his own little insecurities, too. Thank you for reading, as always!

This story makes me happy. I am so glad that you decided to make this a trilogy. And in this third installment, Pam gets to have Jim's baby!! Perfect.
Anyways, I am enjoying their vacation, the road trip playlist was fun, glad to have those back. And how cute is DrunkJim?? I love that the road runs two ways, Jim takes advantage of DrunkPam and Pam gets to take advantage of DrunkJim. Everybody wins!
So glad you're back. Looking forward to more fun on honeymoon #2!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad you're enjoying their vacation to baby-makingville. What? It's a word. And I feel like we've yet to see much of DrunkJim! and he might have to make another appearance later on in the story. He's too much fun!

Author's Response: Right back at ya!- ;)
Date: May 30, 2009 07:14 pm Title: Bright Lights, Big City
being from north jersey (&& right across the river from nyc), I suggest you hit up atlantic city && yonkers raceway in your fic (:
Author's Response: Atlantic City! A trip to NJ is definitely in the cards, where we will learn that Jim has been hiding a troubling gambling problem and Pam has to admit him into rehab... No, I'm just kidding. Haha. Although I'm sure that would make for one interesting story. But yes, they will drive down to NJ for a day. Stay tuned...
Date: May 29, 2009 09:18 pm Title: Bright Lights, Big City
Okay guh HOT.... I love Pam letting Jim sleep all scrunched up and cute, how weird am I, but I'd totally do that too and just randomly stare at him all the time LMAO.
Drunk Jim is adorable AND HOT, and Pam taking advantage... well, she's a smart woman lmao.
I've just got back from NYC and Boston, so omg YAY. It depends how touristy you want to be. I've only been to Boston once and I went on a Duck tour and walked the freedom trail, and that was awesome. In NYC, well I go all the time, but I'd love Jim and Pam experiencing SoHo and all the little rooms where you can buy bags LMAO, they'd so scare Jim, I can see it now lol. Walking over Brooklyn Bridge maybe? I'd def say Pam wouild want to do some of the attractions, awww, I so love this story and I've missed sending you my long ass crazy reviews lol.
Author's Response: NYC here we come! (Psst, that will be their itinerary for Chapter 5. Spoiler alert! Oops, usually the spoiler alert comes before the actual spoiler, doesn't it? My mistake! Ha-ha.) Thank you for all the suggestions, they will definitely come in handy. I like the Brooklyn Bridge idea.
